IKEA Fishers Tour

I was invited to take a peek inside the brand new IKEA opening soon in Fishers, IN this week and it was so amazing! I wish I could have taken all of you with me.

I have been in several IKEA stores and I have to say that this one is my favorite so far. It seemed so much easier to navigate and it was all on one floor. Any of you that have had to wait on the elevator at an IKEA store with 300 other people and their shopping bags and carts knows that this is a huge deal.

The entrance to this store was just warmer and more inviting than the other stores taking you right in to beautiful displays of their furnishings.

There are several model home displays as your first stop focusing on how beautifully you can live in a tiny space. Space sizes range from around 300 sq ft to around 700 sq ft and include outdoor spaces as well. This is a first for IKEA stores.

I could definitely picture myself living in several of these small spaces and I’m sharing a few of my favorite below.

In true IKEA fashion they have many gorgeous room vignettes throughout their showroom area giving you an example of how to use their beautiful furnishings in your own home and accessories to add.

They even tag each item so you can easily locate them in their marketplace section. I am sharing with you some of my favorites.

OFFICE/CLOSETS

If your like me, you will be exhausted and hungry after looking at all the amazing ideas in the showroom area. IKEA thought of that and placed an outstanding restaurant just in time for you to sit and relax and fill up your belly.

The IKEA Restaurant opens 30 minutes earlier than the store for a full hot breakfast, including scrambled eggs, potatoes, turkey sausage and Swedish pancakes for only $2.00.

The 325-seat restaurant also offers a diverse menu featuring lunch, dinner, snacks and dessert, including Swedish specialties such as the popular IKEA Swedish meatballs (as well as chicken or veggie versions), seafood plates, pasta, chicken, salads, sandwiches, and vegetarian dishes too.

Menu choices for kids include a child’s portion of Swedish meatballs, chicken fingers or macaroni and cheese, while baby food and bibs are available for even younger visitors.

The Swedish Food Market offers Swedish delicacies, snacks and treats, and frozen Swedish meatballs (the same ones available in the Restaurant) to purchase and then prepare at home.

Just in case your still hungry when you leave;
The Exit Bistro serves hot dogs, pizza, cinnamon buns, frozen yogurt, sundaes and beverages.

So I covered all my favorite stuff, design and food. Lol

Go visit this incredible store as soon as you can! There is so much more I could talk about and make this the longest post in history! I didn’t even touch on the kids play area, free designer services, all the grand opening giveaways and so much more!

Store opens October 11th at 9AM but you can start lining up 48 hours before that for a chance to win a free sofa!
